MUSHROOM SR AWN. 
I want every seed store in the country to handle my brand of spawn. Am 
giving special inducements at present to make it an object for every one to 
handle it. Write at once for terms, etc. I furnish conspicuous show cards 
free with all orders. Twenty-four page book, “ Mushroom Culture,” $3.00 
per 100. Retails for 10 cents, or you can afford to give it away with all orders, 
as it ensures success in mushroom culture among amateurs. 
The “W. P.” brand of Mushroom Spawn is always fresh, and full spawned. It is the fines- 
quality of brick or English spawn, and is made specially for my trade by the best maker in Engt 
land. Many of the largest growers use the “W. P.” brand exclusively, and give the most flatter- 
ing reports of its reliability and productiveness. Growers of mushrooms are cautioned not to use 
inferior spawn, as the success of Mushroom culture depends to a large extent on the quality 
of the spawn used. Old or poorly charged spawn is dear at any price, and there is no necessity 
for using such when the “W. P.” brand can be had at a reasonable figure. Monthly impor- 
tations arrive in this country from September to April, fresh from the maker in England, thus 
guaranteeing spawn of absolutely unsurpassed freshness. A brick or cake of spawn weighs 
about I yf lbs., and will plant a space 2 feet by 3 feet, that is : — 6 square feet of surface, and the 
quantity needed for any given space may easily be calculated by this rule. 
A FEW SAMPLES OF WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE "w.P.” 
MUSHROOM SPAWN. 
“ The ‘W. P.’ is the best mushroom spawn I have ever handled. My beds are smothered 
with the finest mushrooms I ever saw grown under the benches in a greenhouse.” 
“ The spawn you sent me looks very fine — the best I ever had — the bricks being 
‘charged’ extra well.” 
“ If you can furnish me with ‘W. P.’ spawn, same as you sold to Mr. , of , 
please send me 500 pounds. That was the finest lot of spawn I ever saw.” 
“ The ‘W. IV spawn is the best I ever used. The crop is just coming in, and it will be the 
heaviest I ever had. I will require another 1000 pounds soon.” 
“ Please send me 150 pounds of the genuine ‘W. P.’ spawn at once to replace some of 
inferior quality that I got from another source. I put in some of the ‘W. I’.’ at the same time 
and it is working nicely. I wish I had planted all with the ‘W. P.’ instead of that other, as its 
failure will entail on me the entire overhauling and remaking of the beds.”
